Ransomware Group Threatens to Leak Information to Edward Snowden

A ransomware group has recently deviated from its usual tactics by threatening to disclose information to Edward Snowden if the ransom is not paid. Initially, the group followed standard ransomware procedures before demanding the ransom. However, they then threatened the victim by detailing the potential consequences if they did not cooperate. This new extortion tactic demonstrates an evolution in the methods used by cybercriminals to obtain payments.
